Event Notes Note (1) In 1850, he was enumerated with his family, listed as Samuel T. Sherwood, age 21, farmer. In the same census in Doddridge County, he was also enumerated with the family of John J. & Mahala (Inghram) Ingle, listed as Todd Sherwood, age 22, b. in Pa, laborer. His relationship with the Ingle family is not known, but it is probably not coincidental that Ingle's father, Ezra Engle, was a gunsmith in Tyler County. John J. Ingle himself was a physician, born in Pennsylvania. Note (2) Birthplace given in 1880 Census as Pennsylvania, which borders Monongalia County. Note (3) Death date given in obituary as Dec 9 1913. Note (4) Obituary incorrectly identifies the cemetery as Cowman Cemetery. Note (5) Birth date Nov 28 1859 in death record conflicts with age given in census and other records. Note (6) Death date given in mother's obituary as Jan 6 1879. Note (7) He was born in (W)Va, both his parents born in Pennsylvania.
